Speaker 1: with Freddy, Chef Die and for ready prints. Junior ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Welcome to another episode of Wrestling with Friends,
Speaker 1: and here is the news of the week. Tony Kahn
Speaker 1: speaks about aw all in ticket sales around seventy thousand
Speaker 1: sold for about nine million US dollars for one show
Speaker 1: in London at Wimbley Stadium. It looks like they will
Speaker 1: open up more seats as well. The current setup is
Speaker 1: close to eighty eight thousand asses in seats. In WWE News,
Speaker 1: they may be serious about going to London as well,
Speaker 1: as John Cena discussed bringing WrestleMania to the United Kingdom
Speaker 1: in Independent Wrestling News. The Premier streaming Network is having
Speaker 1: its first showcase championship match September ninth in Matouchen, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: But more on that tomorrow right here on Wrestling with Friends.
Speaker 2: Good evening, Good night? Wait? What is it?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I forgot that. I always forget. It's at
Speaker 1: this point it's no longer forgetting to be deleted.
Speaker 2: Deleted?
Speaker 1: What up?
Speaker 2: Did?
Speaker 1: How are you? Sir?
Speaker 2: I'm feeling good.
Speaker 3: I gotta talk to Tony Coin about how to move tickets.
Speaker 3: You know, That's what I need to talk to him about.
Speaker 1: How do I do that. You gotta have some badass
Speaker 1: wrestlers open up for you.
Speaker 3: You got to bring out see them Punk to open
Speaker 3: up my shows or something.
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have them wrestle, have them wrestle. I don't know
Speaker 1: someone in the crowd that'd be awesome each night tonight.
Speaker 1: Only see them punk wrestles. Anybody. Jeff died a tie.
Speaker 3: And at the end of at the end seem Punk's
Speaker 3: gonna put you through a table. That's a good that
Speaker 3: moves some tickets.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'd sell eighty eight thousand a show.
Speaker 2: I just gotta get to see them punk to agree.
Speaker 1: How you feeling, brother, I feel good, man, I feel good.
Speaker 1: I'm done missing the movie that I did. I missed
Speaker 1: it for like two weeks. I couldn't even read the
Speaker 1: note that the director wrote me because I was like,
Speaker 1: once I read it, I know it's over. And it
Speaker 1: took me about two weeks. Then I finally read it
Speaker 1: and it was very nice. So I'm feeling good and
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to go on vacation with the family.
Speaker 1: I'm going to take them on a little vaca out
Speaker 1: of the country be the children's first time. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited for that, and I'm excited for the world of wrestling.
Speaker 1: Jeff me tell me because every week, even if there's
Speaker 1: bad crap, there's at least one good thing that makes
Speaker 1: me love wrestling, and we got much more than one
Speaker 1: this week. What about you, sir? What say you? Well?
Speaker 3: For me, wrestling has been very exciting just in general.
Speaker 3: These last few weeks, we got to see so many
Speaker 3: matches I've always wanted to see, you know.
Speaker 2: I got to see.
Speaker 3: John Moxley beat the breaks off of Kenny Omega in
Speaker 3: a Barberi match. I got to see finally Sting and
Speaker 3: Darby Allen fight each other. You know, they're all angry.
Speaker 3: I am, of course speaking about Aw's fight forever. The
Speaker 3: video game is out and I get to make all
Speaker 3: the little matches I want, like I'm god, you know,
Speaker 3: like I get to be Tony Kahan, except taller and
Speaker 3: cooler and handsomer. It's been very, very exciting. I've waited
Speaker 3: for this TCHQ game to come out for I've talked
Speaker 3: about it on this podcast.
Speaker 2: I was so excited for it to come out.
Speaker 3: I've waited I knew that this is the only game
Speaker 3: in modern times that I was able to pick it
Speaker 3: up and immediately be good because they didn't change any
Speaker 3: of the controls.
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan. You've been playing it?
Speaker 1: Also, yes, I have. If we ever do merch, our
Speaker 1: T shirt should say taller, cooler, and handsomer. That's the greatest.
Speaker 1: That's the greatest self compliment ever. I really like the
Speaker 1: game a lot. I have created my own wrestler. Created
Speaker 1: your own wrestler.
Speaker 2: No, I haven't had enough time to create a wrestler.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's it's the character creation is great. I created
Speaker 1: fred Wardo Prinz Junior. He's a luchador.
Speaker 3: Also, when I said that I don't have time, it's
Speaker 3: not like I'm too busy. I just haven't been home.
Speaker 2: That's the thing.
Speaker 3: I don't travel with my you know console, I will
Speaker 3: create a wrestler.
Speaker 1: That's a big mistake. You can do your Xbox remote connect,
Speaker 1: so you can connect it to an Xbox and you
Speaker 1: can link your controller to your iPad and you can
Speaker 1: play like anywhere. All you have to do is give
Speaker 1: your Xbox access to be remotely accessed.
Speaker 2: Does that cost money or anything?
Speaker 1: I'm learning that's just a feature on your Xbox.
Speaker 2: This is pretty sweet. I'm very excited to hear this.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you I did it. And when we went
Speaker 1: to Hawaii and my son was like, oh, Dad, you're
Speaker 1: not bringing the Xbox and I was like, nah, but
Speaker 1: we're going to do outdoor things. And then while I
Speaker 1: made him do outdoor things, out sleep inside. They call
Speaker 1: it dude and genius. All right, let's talk some pro wrestling. Dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 3: Let's talk about real wrestling, not just video game wrestling.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: Monday Night Raw. The Judgment Day started slow, through no
Speaker 1: fault of their own. Edge got hurt and like blew
Speaker 1: out a muscle in his arm or something like that,
Speaker 1: and so it it kind of sputtered for a while
Speaker 1: storyline wise, but they kept getting wins. And that's really
Speaker 1: frustrating as a fan because you're like, you're not even
Speaker 1: doing anything with them. Why are they beating people that
Speaker 1: you could be doing things with. Well, they finally figured
Speaker 1: it out, and everybody kind of has a role, right
Speaker 1: like Finn Balor's the leadership role. No one is hated
Speaker 1: more on Planet Earth right now than Dominic Mysterio for
Speaker 1: all the right, and maybe people might argue the wrong reasons,
Speaker 1: but I think it's all the right reasons. Damian Priest
Speaker 1: has become the babyface of the group. I love seeing
Speaker 1: Latinos get the spotlight. It doesn't happen too often. I
Speaker 1: love seeing him get the appreciation he's getting. He's a
Speaker 1: good storyteller. Him and Finn have beef right now. And
Speaker 1: then Jeff it's our superstar, our world champion, who had
Speaker 1: a freaking monster match against Natalia Nightheart and just whipped
Speaker 1: her ass. It was sorry for yelling, but oh my god,
Speaker 1: the judgment day is large and in charge.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: What do you think of where they're at? Do you
Speaker 1: agree or are you still kind of no?
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 3: I love Finn, always have. I've always hated Dominick since
Speaker 3: he came in. Now I like him like it worked.
Speaker 3: He's won me over. I'm in on all of it.
Speaker 3: It's very fun to hate him. It's very fun all
Speaker 3: the little things he does. I think it's perfect. And
Speaker 3: Ree Ripley, she's already she's been a superstar on this podcast.
Speaker 3: We've talked about it a million times. She's easily the
Speaker 3: best since Charlotte Flair. When it comes to women. And
Speaker 3: what's the secret cup between Charlotte Flair and Ria Ripley.
Speaker 3: What do they have in common? What's the thing they're
Speaker 3: both giants? Tell them giants. They're big, they're strong. They
Speaker 3: throw girls around because they're big and strong. And it
Speaker 3: goes to the Jeff Dive formula. Be a monster, be huge,
Speaker 3: and you will succeed. We're witnessing it with the women.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Raquel Gonzales out there, the biggest and
Speaker 1: baddest of them all. Once she gets the mic stuff
Speaker 1: figured out, y'all better watch out, all right. So the
Speaker 1: show starts money in the bank, recap video package because
Speaker 1: we don't want to wrestle, So we're going to do
Speaker 1: thousands and thousands of video packages because we think that's
Speaker 1: better than professional wrestling. I don't know why, but they
Speaker 1: do a lot of them, and this week was no exception,
Speaker 1: even a few more. But we get blessed by the
Speaker 1: presence of seth Rawlins, who, hard as he may try
Speaker 1: to get me to hate him through the laugh and
Speaker 1: through the clothing and some of the hair choices, tough,
Speaker 1: as Richard Pryors one said, tough to this, he came
Speaker 1: and saved the show came out there and he starts
Speaker 1: talking and of course he gets interrupted by his last
Speaker 1: great rival, mister Cody Rhodes Co Delicious comes out and
Speaker 1: Jeff what looked like was gonna be some beef between
Speaker 1: the two of them turned into what I think you
Speaker 1: probably thought was the greatest moment in the segment, because
Speaker 1: out came Brock Lesner and Cody Roose is like, screw this,
Speaker 1: shirt off runs in or jacket off runs out, goes
Speaker 1: to fight on. Brock LEZs like, yo, let me remind
Speaker 1: you I was in the UFC bitch Bow bow and
Speaker 1: she just starts beating his ass for real, tossing Cody
Speaker 1: all over and kicking the shit out of him and
Speaker 1: then throws him off the ropes and Cody bounces off,
Speaker 1: jumps off, flies in there. Blah blah, Cody Cutter, you
Speaker 1: suck it Bold, And it was awesome and I loved it.
Speaker 1: And I know you had to pop big for this
Speaker 1: because I know you love Big, Bro.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 3: It was amazing And also like, I don't think I'll
Speaker 3: ever get tired of them just interrupting and beating up
Speaker 3: like it's obviously just a staple and wrestling, but like
Speaker 3: nobody can get through any segments. You know, you can't
Speaker 3: get through a single sentence you try to do that.
Speaker 3: Someone's music hits and and I like that. He didn't
Speaker 3: come in and say nothing, just came in and beat
Speaker 3: some ass.
Speaker 2: I was. I was very very happy about it.
Speaker 1: We did get some ass beating, but we still don't
Speaker 1: get any wrestling. Because they thought it was a good
Speaker 1: story choice for this week's episode to go back to
Speaker 1: Seth Rollins promo in order to organically make a match
Speaker 1: on the spot, and surprise, surprise, Jeff, he got interrupted again.
Speaker 1: This may be the first double interruption of the modern
Speaker 1: era of professional wrestling since the year two thousand for
Speaker 1: those who don't know what the modern area is. He
Speaker 1: gets interrupted again, this time by the judgment day, and
Speaker 1: they're ready to kick ass. They've got a money in
Speaker 1: the bank eye, which is a pretty much guaranteed world championship.
Speaker 1: They got the women's world champion Rhea Ripley. They got
Speaker 1: Dominick that no one lets speak before. Dominic gets talked
Speaker 1: into a match with Seth Rollins, where Seth proceeds to
Speaker 1: whip his ass all over the place. But we still
Speaker 1: haven't had any wrestling Jeff, did you like this segment
Speaker 1: continuing or did it start getting a little long in
Speaker 1: the two I.
Speaker 2: Was into it.
Speaker 3: I'm also trying to coach myself on being a little
Speaker 3: more generous to these kind of things.
Speaker 1: To you.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to you know, I'm trying to go all right.
Speaker 3: You know, they got a big thing coming up. They
Speaker 3: don't want to take too many bumps. That's just interrupted
Speaker 3: at this point in the show. We should have had
Speaker 3: some wrestling by now. You're right about that.
Speaker 1: We got a little fistfight though. At least you know,
Speaker 1: Brock decided to beat the shit out of Cody for
Speaker 1: two and a half minutes. Jesus, if he pretend hit
Speaker 1: me once the segment would be over, there would be
Speaker 1: no would I would just say stop, I will put
Speaker 1: up the X right, even if it didn't hurt. I
Speaker 1: would be so scared. You remember when John Kruck backed
Speaker 1: out of the box in the All Star Game with
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson and he was just like, you know what,
Speaker 1: screw this that I would straight up ruin the segment
Speaker 1: and be like, nah, man, your hand is as big
Speaker 1: as my whole ass. We're not doing fake fighting. We're
Speaker 1: just not so you still got that, but we didn't
Speaker 1: get any wrestling yet. Eventually we did get some wrestling though.
Speaker 1: We got Damien Priest versus Shinsky Nakamura and since his return,
Speaker 1: he hasn't gotten a lot of love. Shinsky No, but
Speaker 1: he's looked great and he looked great in this match too.
Speaker 1: But the right guy won. Damien Priest has to be
Speaker 1: the man cruising, but Shinske is still looking really good.
Speaker 1: I hope that they can come up with some kind
Speaker 1: of story. I don't know why they think it's so hard,
Speaker 1: like so many Japanese movies inspired American films, and so
Speaker 1: many American films inspired Japanese films. And the reason why
Speaker 1: is because we're the freaking sane. We just eat different food,
Speaker 1: we dance different, and we sound different when we talk.
Speaker 1: So you could just write him the same story you
Speaker 1: would write for any wrestler, white, black, brown, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And if he can pull it off, give him a
Speaker 1: chance to pull it off, because they got nothing for
Speaker 1: my man, but Big.
Speaker 2: L's I don't know what they're doing with shin's Ke,
Speaker 2: like we do something with him? What is happening? He's
Speaker 2: also side note.
Speaker 3: The only wrestler who's had the best music in the
Speaker 3: history of wrestling.
Speaker 2: Quite Oh my god, He's had two.
Speaker 3: Different amazing entrance songs and it just absolutely amazing.
Speaker 1: His music's so good. Before Spotify existed, I bought his
Speaker 1: entrance music on iTunes just so I could listen to
Speaker 1: that violin. And then when they did the electric guitar remake,
Speaker 1: and I love Japanese culture already, and like I know
Speaker 1: about like Noamier and Exile google them, suckers, y'all don
Speaker 1: know Nomie, but yeah, so I love his entrance music
Speaker 1: so much. I just wish.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: You can't give everybody a story, now, screw that, man.
Speaker 1: You can. Some may be smaller and less relevant, but
Speaker 1: you can give everyone a story. Man. It's just hard.
Speaker 1: It's just hard, goddamn work at that company because you
Speaker 1: got somebody cutting your legs out from under you. Once
Speaker 1: a week, there's one match. We don't have to get
Speaker 1: into it, okay, But it's grown on me so much,
Speaker 1: and them as a group have grown on me so much,
Speaker 1: and I'm starting to love them to the point where
Speaker 1: I get sad where one of them loses. I only
Speaker 1: follow one of them on Instagram because I've loved him
Speaker 1: since his NXT days. But we got to talk Alpha Academy. Please, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're talking Chad Gable, Otis and Maxine Dupre, who is learning.
Speaker 1: She is bro I am so in love with her,
Speaker 1: see y'all for those who don't know. She's learning to
Speaker 1: wrestle from Chad Gable, who is like a legit amateur wrestler,
Speaker 1: like world world class wrestlery beat all our asses, and
Speaker 1: the character he plays gets wins. But he's goofy too
Speaker 1: because he's good at comedy and he says thank you
Speaker 1: before you come, before you can compliment him, because he
Speaker 1: knows what he said was so prevalent and poignant. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's taken Otis under his wing. And Otis is
Speaker 1: just this like he looks like a like a washing
Speaker 1: machine with arms and legs the stick out and that's
Speaker 1: and a head and that's it. And he's huge and
Speaker 1: he's awesome and I love him. I follow him on
Speaker 1: Instagram because he just grills like eight steaks and they're
Speaker 1: not for anyone.
Speaker 2: But he does have that old school wdbef.
Speaker 3: Thing too, that like Berserker had, and like Jim Hackson
Speaker 3: Douggan with the like the facial expressions and then like
Speaker 3: he's very.
Speaker 1: And he's got sixty seconds of move He's got sixty
Speaker 1: seconds of moves, and then he's either taking a boot
Speaker 1: to the face or he's tagging in Chad again, that's it.
Speaker 1: But what he's going he's among us, Dude, I've been
Speaker 1: gassed walking to the ring. But anyway, the star of
Speaker 1: this show right now is Maxine Dupree, who I would
Speaker 1: love to have on the show because what she's committed
Speaker 1: to is completely ridiculous. Storyline wise, She's learning to wrestle
Speaker 1: from Chad Gable, and each week he's teaching her a
Speaker 1: new move, and each week she has to do it
Speaker 1: for real against a psychotic Viking woman who wants to
Speaker 1: kill her. That's the storyline rigid. For some reason, it's
Speaker 1: parable she's a Viking. So it would be very hard
Speaker 1: to sell this idea to an executive. They would be
Speaker 1: skeptical and cynical of my taste. Right, So I'm not
Speaker 1: saying the story is good, but her commitment to the
Speaker 1: story has made me love her and the Alpha Academy
Speaker 1: very very much. And she's learning simple, basic moves and
Speaker 1: winning matches with them and getting the for the team. Bro,
Speaker 1: it's so great and I love it and I'm not
Speaker 1: even joking. It's my match of the week.
Speaker 2: What's been your favorite so far? Of the of the moves, the.
Speaker 1: Arm track, I think she got it off. She threw
Speaker 1: her hands up like she's just small victories, dude, it's
Speaker 1: these small victories. Bro. Her whatever whoever produced it and
Speaker 1: talked to her and about you know how this character
Speaker 1: is gonna work because the producers help a lot with this.
Speaker 1: I don't know which one it was, but shout out
Speaker 1: to you, like, I love it so much. When she
Speaker 1: threw her arms up, I died laughing. My son and
Speaker 1: daughter were laughing. We had a plast with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the worm. When he said do the worm?
Speaker 2: Do the worm?
Speaker 3: She started, She even started like shaking, like what's happening
Speaker 3: to my body?
Speaker 2: It's taking over, It's taking over. And then she does that.
Speaker 1: Took total Jim Carrey commitment to do that, and then
Speaker 1: I love that. She lost to it and the worm
Speaker 1: was the worm. The worm betrayed her. The worm turned.
Speaker 2: She would do that.
Speaker 3: If you can't see us right now, she would do
Speaker 3: like half of the worm, and then her knees would
Speaker 3: slam into the mat like really like clunky. So it's
Speaker 3: like kind of a worm and it was her first worm.
Speaker 2: She's still learning.
Speaker 1: A worm's taking big risks in there against professional wrestlers
Speaker 1: that can hurt her and beat her up and want
Speaker 1: to kill her and see her dead. Man Like I'm
Speaker 1: telling you Valhalla, was that her name?
Speaker 2: You have?
Speaker 1: Vahalla Sarah Logan, Yep, they call her Vahallaa. She's trying,
Speaker 1: she's trying to kill her and she's still willing to
Speaker 1: give the audience a show and do a breakdancing move
Speaker 1: instead of go a whip some pass.
Speaker 2: She paid for it.
Speaker 1: She paid for it last week, almost with her life.
Speaker 3: I don't like the barefoot wrestling, by the way, from Valhalla,
Speaker 3: I don't like it. I don't liked barefoot. I think
Speaker 3: the Kamala it made sense, so Kamala was barefoot, But I.
Speaker 1: Don't like that barefoot either.
Speaker 3: It just for whatever reason, it doesn't look Maybe because
Speaker 3: my eyes are so used to like wrestling boots, like
Speaker 3: like the kneepad and the wrestling boots like it just
Speaker 3: that I associate those in my brain. But whenever someone's
Speaker 3: out there barefoot, I'm like, what are they doing.
Speaker 1: My friend, I would love to transition to AW Dynamite.
Speaker 1: I've made a discovery in the saga of Adam Cole
Speaker 1: and Maxwell Jacob Friedman, the AW world champion owner of
Speaker 1: the Triple B. Their relationship is one hundred percent Nick
Speaker 1: Nolty and Eddie Murphy from forty eight and another forty
Speaker 1: eight hours. This should be the goofiest, corniest storyline that
Speaker 1: we've seen this year, and instead, because of Cole's commitment
Speaker 1: to hating Max and Max's commitment to whatever the hell
Speaker 1: it is he's doing. I don't even know how to
Speaker 1: disc gribe it. He's singing songs to him, he's wishing
Speaker 1: him happy birthday, he's trying to pull Ashton Kusher pranks.
Speaker 1: He's doing all this stuff and it's working and and
Speaker 1: the crowd loves it, and I'm into it and my
Speaker 1: kids are laughing, and then Adam Cole is just Nick
Speaker 1: noltying him, or you could even say mel Gibson and
Speaker 1: Danny Glover, but it's more forty eight hours and I
Speaker 1: really like it. And they did it this week, and
Speaker 1: they're in this tag team together where they don't like
Speaker 1: each other, but Max is really trying to make it
Speaker 1: work and be best friends because truthfully, he doesn't want
Speaker 1: to wrestle at him Cole because he knows Adam Cole
Speaker 1: can beat it. But I'm totally liking it. You probably
Speaker 1: totally hate it, but nope, I think it's super charming. Really,
Speaker 1: I love that. It's charmed me to death, and I
Speaker 1: think they're doing a great job. What say you?
Speaker 3: I love it and I think that this also peace.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna sound like a broken record on this podcast,
Speaker 3: but it speaks to how good mjf's wrestling sensibilities are
Speaker 3: or and not like wrestling like technical wrestling like Brett
Speaker 3: Hard or something, but like the his sensibilities of what
Speaker 3: he can pull off and what he can get with.
Speaker 3: This shouldn't work, like you said, it shouldn't work. It
Speaker 3: should be weird, it should be, but it is working
Speaker 3: because because of MJF and Adam Coley great.
Speaker 2: But also it's just different.
Speaker 3: We've never seen anything like this, so it's like it's
Speaker 3: just kind of them working out together. Mgf's making fun
Speaker 3: of the fat guy like there.
Speaker 1: Was there was all Like I just I love that
Speaker 1: so much and like cut segments or killer Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just love that, Like someone trusted MJF enough.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing this might have what.
Speaker 3: I don't know whose idea it is, but I love
Speaker 3: that they're trusting this and trying it and it's working
Speaker 3: and I love it.
Speaker 2: It's very very fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, whose ever ideal was? You know, everyone has to
Speaker 1: commit to their to their end. Everyone has to carry
Speaker 1: their weight. So whether it was like Tony saying, hey,
Speaker 1: it's going to be a buddy cop movie and Colon
Speaker 1: and Max just saying, okay, let's let's make this work.
Speaker 1: I'll be the I'll be the goofball and you you
Speaker 1: freaking hate me, or whether it was Max or Cole
Speaker 1: or everyone together kind of working it out. Everybody has
Speaker 1: to be perfect in this, and you can see Cole
Speaker 1: allow Max to wear him down a little and then
Speaker 1: he snaps it back up and it's like, no, f you,
Speaker 1: It's been perfect, man, I really dig it. I'm glad
Speaker 1: their story didn't get buried by that ciampunk promo.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: When he first made his comeback, and I like where
Speaker 1: it's going. It has a very different feel, and every
Speaker 1: one of Max's storylines have been so different from the last.
Speaker 1: He's shown a ton of range. I think that's why
Speaker 1: his skill continues to develop as quickly as it does
Speaker 1: because he's constantly challenging himself. Dude singing Broadway tunes on
Speaker 1: a professional wrestling show, singing Happy Birthday to his new
Speaker 1: best butt, and then he's taking his face into the
Speaker 1: cake when Adam Cole fakes him out.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 3: This is a little side note if you're listening at home,
Speaker 3: kids or adults, when you put someone's face through a cake, like,
Speaker 3: that's a dangerous blum you know, night, I know this.
Speaker 3: There's candles, there's things that are in cakes. There's things
Speaker 3: that Some cakes need sticks to make them keep their
Speaker 3: structural integrity. So when you push someone's head in it,
Speaker 3: be very careful. It's candles can get you in the eye.
Speaker 3: I saw it once on some YouTube video, and since then,
Speaker 3: every time I see someone take a face in the
Speaker 3: cake and was like, oh gosh, is the candle gonna
Speaker 3: get them? Is the stick gonna get them? So just
Speaker 3: something to think about, something to be cautious about. Just
Speaker 3: me helping out the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Always better to smash a face in a pie. Yeah,
Speaker 1: always better to tick this. That's why the old old
Speaker 1: saying is a pie in the face, not a cake
Speaker 1: in the face. It's right because pie you just get
Speaker 1: smoohed in there. Now there is a danger with that
Speaker 1: as well. If it just came out of the oven.
Speaker 1: Could you weren't aware of it and you're trying to chip,
Speaker 1: you know, trick your little brother, pow pow. That's the
Speaker 1: third degree burn. As soon as his face hits it,
Speaker 1: he's gonna come out screaming. It's an apple pie, so
Speaker 1: it's sticky, so it's continuing to burn, and that punishment's
Speaker 1: on you. That's your grounding, that's not his. That's your grounding,
Speaker 1: and you're gonna feel like crap. So make sure it's
Speaker 1: a cold pie, like a key lime pile or it's us.
Speaker 3: Just go with a tin, a pie tin with a
Speaker 3: bunch of whipped cream.
Speaker 1: You know that that.
Speaker 3: Looks good Bee of the nerd style. Yeah, it's got
Speaker 3: a great reaction. You didn't waste a pie. You didn't
Speaker 3: waste a nice cake. Cheap it looks good, gets the
Speaker 3: same effect. That's clown school one on one stuff. You know,
Speaker 3: no candles in that and the shaving cream.
Speaker 1: We're moving on to our final show of the week,
Speaker 1: Friday Nights SmackDown and the Trial of Roman Rains.
Speaker 2: I should just renamed SmackDown Tribal Chief Show.
Speaker 1: For real bloodline so they give you a They've given
Speaker 1: us so many different leads of this story, right, Like
Speaker 1: Sammy's Ain was the lead, Roman Rains was the lead.
Speaker 1: They even gave Solo the lead for one episode. Jay
Speaker 1: was the lead, Jimmy's been the lead. They've all had
Speaker 1: their moments, and tonight was Roman and Jay and this
Speaker 1: was a very oh, I'll tell you guys the secret.
Speaker 1: This was a very heartbreaking kind of thing for like
Speaker 1: a family to fall apart and break down, and Roman
Speaker 1: even shed some tears. If you guys want, you can
Speaker 1: rewind the episode before he take gets down on one knee,
Speaker 1: right so well before he takes two knees, but before
Speaker 1: he gets down on one knee, when he's face to
Speaker 1: face with Jay and he's talking to him, he'll itch
Speaker 1: his eye. And when he did that, what he did
Speaker 1: was he put a little menthol. I believe because I've
Speaker 1: seen people do this before, a little men though jelly
Speaker 1: right there in the eye, and it helps you cry
Speaker 1: because it waters up your eyeballs. I've seen actors do
Speaker 1: know this well. I've seen a lot of actors do
Speaker 1: it now. It could be wrong. He could have just
Speaker 1: itched his eye and pulled the tears off for real.
Speaker 1: But and I don't care either way. But I know
Speaker 1: I remember seeing that and being like what wait a minute,
Speaker 1: and then I rewound it. I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: think he did the menthol jelly. So that guy, so
Speaker 1: that was really that. But by the way, that's his
Speaker 1: commitment is he knew that that moment needed tears. So
Speaker 1: whether they came organically or synthetically, that is irrelevant. What's
Speaker 1: relevant is that he knew the moment needed that to
Speaker 1: make you believe it.
Speaker 3: Well, I might need to know that trick for a
Speaker 3: future film sometimes, so I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Just ask the makeup artists say hey, I may need tears,
Speaker 1: and the makeup artist is always there. They have it
Speaker 1: in their kit and they help. On the movie I did,
Speaker 1: the girl asked me, She said, hey, do you want
Speaker 1: do you want to help crime? But you know your
Speaker 1: boy doesn't need it. You know, get in those tears.
Speaker 2: Because you know what putting that Menthough I can.
Speaker 1: Only do it twice though I dry out after.
Speaker 3: Two asking the makeup department for it. You know you
Speaker 3: don't do that, right, doesn't that asking the makeup department does?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: I need to help with crying. This seems a little dishonest,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Just get those real tears,
Speaker 3: That's what Freddy Prince Junior.
Speaker 1: No, man. I know, I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: who do it, and everybody's got their own process, you know,
Speaker 1: But I do it the Denzel Washington way, straight up.
Speaker 2: Real, real shit, dishonest to fake.
Speaker 1: I'm probably the most honest guy you know people are
Speaker 1: listening to right now.
Speaker 2: All those movies are truly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, all the yeah hundred per true, Yeah,
Speaker 1: one hundred percent truth. Okay, so we're into this, the
Speaker 1: Trial of Roman reigns and Roman comes out and Paul
Speaker 1: Hayman's out there, and Solosi co is out there, and
Speaker 1: the USO's aren't having any of Paul Hayman, so they
Speaker 1: shut him down pretty quick. And Roman comes out and
Speaker 1: they basically say, f you, man, all you did was
Speaker 1: screw with us and assault us, beat us down, hold
Speaker 1: us down, and then manipulated us to help you, not
Speaker 1: to help us to help you. Again. These aren't the lines,
Speaker 1: This is just what they were expressing. And I'm summarizing
Speaker 1: exhibit No, I don't plagiarize, okay, And they're breaking it
Speaker 1: down to and Roman Reigns kind of smiles and then
Speaker 1: lets that smile go away and lets him know, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: was all those things, which was the perfect response, because
Speaker 1: that's what you needed, not what I need. That's what
Speaker 1: you needed. I made you, I built you. Like he's
Speaker 1: the narcissist, right, so he takes credit for your successes,
Speaker 1: even when you're the one in the ring accomplishing these things, right,
Speaker 1: So he wants to be like he says in the
Speaker 1: beginning of every promo, acknowledge me. That's the narcissist character, right,
Speaker 1: And he's playing it perfect. And they say, well, we're
Speaker 1: going to show you something and he puts They put
Speaker 1: out this montage and it's all the times that Roman
Speaker 1: Reigns has just been a piece of shit, and it
Speaker 1: cuts back and Roman looks at him like he's been betrayed,
Speaker 1: and his response is so awesome. He looks at it
Speaker 1: and he's like, that's all you showed. What about all
Speaker 1: the good things that I brought, What about all the
Speaker 1: things I did to help you? Just show me like
Speaker 1: a like a jerk, like that's every single moment we've had.
Speaker 1: My daughters are in the back watching this man, what's
Speaker 1: the matter with you? And he puts it all back
Speaker 1: on them. It's so good. And then finally he's like
Speaker 1: the pressure is just too much and he hates seeing
Speaker 1: everything getting destroyed, and he's like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: don't even want this. I did this because I was
Speaker 1: asked to do this, but I don't want it anymore.
Speaker 1: You want this? And he's got the tribal chief's necklace, right,
Speaker 1: and what is that shoulders, that's the tribal chief necklace. Man,
Speaker 1: it's power. That's a powerful necklace.
Speaker 2: I just thought like Mishman was the tribal chief and
Speaker 2: he wore it.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that that. So that was part of like, oh, look,
Speaker 3: whoever is like a crown?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 3: It's like a crown. You got a necklace full of peppers.
Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden, that's so bro. That's
Speaker 3: Samoan magic.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 3: You don't want to it's like voodoo. You don't even
Speaker 3: want to talk bad about it. And so I was
Speaker 3: picking it was like the Lord of the Rings ring.
Speaker 3: He's like, looking at.
Speaker 1: It, too powerful?
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: So so Roman's willing to give it up. He even
Speaker 1: takes his championship belt off and sets it down. I
Speaker 1: don't need this, I don't want this. I don't need
Speaker 1: any of it. Need he says a lot more than one,
Speaker 1: which is more than what a narcissist would say, I
Speaker 1: don't need. If you're in a relationship and they say
Speaker 1: a lot like I don't need you, you need me,
Speaker 1: you're with a narcissist, get the hell out of that relationship.
Speaker 1: It's not going to end well, end it on your terms.
Speaker 1: But he continues that. So that's huge commitment to characters.
Speaker 1: And we don't compliment Roman enough, So sorry for blowing
Speaker 1: smoke up his ass. But this is like the second
Speaker 1: time we've ever done it. So he's just killing it.
Speaker 1: And then he says, is this what you want? Is
Speaker 1: this what you want? You want this responsibility? You think
Speaker 1: you can handle this, then you can take it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I hate breaking everybody's hearts. Let's see how you deal
Speaker 1: with it. And he gets down on one knee and
Speaker 1: then he's on both knees and then he looks up
Speaker 1: and the tears start dropping and he's crying. And it
Speaker 1: might have been for real, man, because there's enough time
Speaker 1: between the eye swipe and him getting down there that
Speaker 1: the tears probably should have come even sooner. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know you as somebody who's better at analyzing footage
Speaker 1: can do it. But either way, this is just such
Speaker 1: a gangster moment. And he's on both knees in front
Speaker 1: of jay Uso just saying like I acknowledge you, my
Speaker 1: tribal chief, and Jauso is like, holy shit, and Paul
Speaker 1: Hayman's like, holy shit, I'm about to lose my job,
Speaker 1: and Solo Soko is like I'm not showing anybody any
Speaker 1: emotion and then out of nowhere, right in the balls
Speaker 1: and Roman just nails them right between the legs and
Speaker 1: that moment is over, and it was such an awesome stuff. Again,
Speaker 1: there wasn't much wrestling in WWE this week, but the
Speaker 1: scripted stuff was really, really good, really effective. I love
Speaker 1: this segment what about you, dude?
Speaker 2: I loved it. I thought it was great.
Speaker 3: We're not getting a lot of Paul Hayman lately. Also,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I was gonna ask you and our our
Speaker 3: fearless producer leader Alex, but I was like, I'll just ask.
Speaker 3: During the episode, I'll risk sounding like a stupid idiot again.
Speaker 2: I'm just asking you.
Speaker 1: Sorry.
Speaker 2: I podcast when he left in the in the ambulance.
Speaker 2: Was that real or not?
Speaker 1: Is he Okay?
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not real.
Speaker 1: It's part of this part of the show. They always
Speaker 1: have ambulances there for when they're going to do an
Speaker 1: ambulance spot, and it's written in the in the break.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't know
Speaker 3: anymore what's real and fake all the time, and.
Speaker 1: All these YouTube someone listening just was afraid to ask
Speaker 1: their bros. And they just learned too. Thanks to you
Speaker 1: and your sacrifice. Okay, then that's what in real life.
Speaker 1: He's okay, we can show continues. That's good to here.
Speaker 3: One thing I thought that was interested. I was gonna
Speaker 3: make this my hot tag of the week, but I'll
Speaker 3: just do it now, is that we in wrestling, and
Speaker 3: for people that just love you and don't they listen
Speaker 3: because they love you and they don't know a lot
Speaker 3: about wrestling, there's this idea to put someone over, like
Speaker 3: that's a term for like, oh, we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 3: give this guy a big push, We're gonna put him,
Speaker 3: make him a star. We're gonna kind of pass the
Speaker 3: torch to him, like you'd think you have to kind
Speaker 3: of lose. That's what everyone thinks. You have a match
Speaker 3: with a wrestler that you want to see do well,
Speaker 3: and you lose to him, which makes him look like
Speaker 3: a champion or victorious, and then they call that putting over.
Speaker 2: Right, Well, this is.
Speaker 3: The most interesting way I've ever seen wrestling put a
Speaker 3: guy over, not like letting Solo Soka, you know, beat
Speaker 3: aj Styles or Barry a bunch of jobbers.
Speaker 2: He didn't have to like have some.
Speaker 3: Wrestler lose to him for us to be like this
Speaker 3: is Each week they're building the fame and the notoriety
Speaker 3: and the power of Solo Siko. I feel like it's
Speaker 3: the most creative way I've seen them because everyone's getting
Speaker 3: so lost in the story, which is great. The story
Speaker 3: is awesome, but we're watching like a star being built up.
Speaker 3: Don't you feel like that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, I think they're doing a great job with Solo,
Speaker 1: with Jimmy and Jay, with Sammy back in the day,
Speaker 1: and with Roman now and the evolution that they keep
Speaker 1: letting them because the.
Speaker 3: USO's fought New Day seventy five billion times, some of
Speaker 3: the greatest tag team matches in the world. Roman Rains
Speaker 3: at this point has been in wrestling for so long
Speaker 3: He's had all these different iterations He's just doing and
Speaker 3: then this is like a really interesting creative way where
Speaker 3: like solo is just right where they're at. It almost
Speaker 3: feels like so I love I love, love love that
Speaker 3: part of what they're doing with the with the bloodline.
Speaker 3: Not crazy about the pepper necklace, but other than that,
Speaker 3: I like all the things they're doing.
Speaker 1: Jeff, tell the people where you're gonna be this week.
Speaker 3: I will be in Covena, California. Come see me out
Speaker 3: in Covena at the laugh Factory. And if you want
Speaker 3: to see if I'm ever going to come to your town,
